OOPS

[pbottomley]

sorry people if anyone noticed a break in service, we like other forums have become a target for the VIAGRA sellers.... they tried several times to open accounts with this forum so that they might spam you all. That I avoided, by doing background checks on all new members. (sid might remebr the "new" user he saw when around mine delivering the axle?)

However someone managed to break the forum, luckly for you all the user data is kept on a part of the server away from the webroute so no personal details were compromised. This prompted me to install some security updates to stop this sort of thing. For the geeks here we have moved from 2.0.18 to 2.0.19 (2.0.21 is the most current, but I like to stay 2 builds behind) and the attack was a DOS on this forum only.

Ironicly the effect of the updates was to break the forum (dohh!), and last night / early this moring I repaired the forum (1AM finish) and now all bar a few small items are fixed. Tonight I plan to finish off the odd items so everything should be back to normal.

Items missing before you point them out are the link to the gallery (just go to the main site) and the link back to the main site (Dohh!), some admin features for behind the scenes and some templates. If anyone has massive issues with there account let me know and I will look at those tonight.

Sorry for the hassle but its a wild world on the web sometimes.

anyways laters peebs I am at work and the boss is watching me!

Thank you for your hard work Paul, I for one do appreciate it and I know others do as well. Thank you for keeping the Viagra Brigade away from me, as anyone with a heart problem should not take them.
